Staring at the market until the eyes are sore, but the account is getting greener and greener?



I met a buddy Ah Zhen, a courier, 34 years old. In four days, I lost 48,000 yuan to the point of shaking, and the mouse was unsteady.

Ask him how he operates? "If it falls, I will panic and cut, and if it rises, I will be afraid of a pullback and sell in seconds."

Standard leek play.

Later, he was taught to adjust his mentality and position management, and in less than half a year, he climbed from the remaining 7,000 to more than 80,000. How to do it?

**The first trick: use the principal in chunks**

In the past, he thought about "turning over the stud", but he directly liquidated his position. I asked him to cut the money into 6 parts, moving up to 17% at a time.

He didn't panic the first time he lost 900, and he didn't float when he earned 700 the second time. Slowly it feels like it.

**Second trick: Don't go completely short**

He used to like to clear his positions and wait and see, and he didn't notice it when the bull market started, but it had risen by 28% by the time he reacted.

Now leave a 25% bottom position to "sense market temperature" - when you see a golden cross on the BTC hourly line, use 8% tentatively to enter the market. Neither stepping into the air nor gambling on life.

**The third trick: control the position in the "micro-pressure area"**

Teach him a soil method: When you go to bed at night, if you suddenly wake up because of the market news, it means that the position is too heavy.

He now holds 45%-55% of the position. If it falls by 9%, it will be distressed but will not smash the keyboard, and if it rises by 18%, it will be happy but will not resign impulsively. Looking at the K-line needle for 15 minutes will not scare you out of a heart attack.

Some people think that "the game mentality is equivalent to lying flat"? Quite the opposite -

This is the most stable way to attack. Shift your energy from "how to get back to your money" to "how to win the next order".

Ah Zhen now only remembers "where is the right thing in this order", and does not dwell on "why is that order losing". The strategy becomes clearer and clearer.

Last month, relying on the "half position + stop loss" combination, it rolled from 48,000 to 97,000.

The market is still the same market, and the coins are still those coins. But when people's mentality changes, the result is different.

The last sentence: Don't treat trading as a life-and-death battle, as a ranking - if you go up in the ranks, profits are just incidental rewards.

Oh my goodness, isn't this just how I looked half a year ago? Staring at the charts all day with trembling hands, one wrong move and I would slam the keyboard... Now I finally understand that going all-in is basically a suicidal move. Using proper position sizing really saves lives. It might not feel as exciting in terms of gains, but at least I'm still alive, right?

Well said, you have to control your mentality, otherwise no matter how much principal you have, it will be a leek life

That's right, mentality is really a big killer, more important than anything else

Haha, I know this buddy, and I still often stare at the market until my eyes go straight To be honest, the operation of stud liquidation in the early stage is really amazing, and I have to smash the keyboard if I change it However, the trick of dividing positions is really useful, and I am doing the same now, and my mentality is indeed much more stable It's just that... Isn't it a bit exaggerated to roll to 97,000 in the past six months, is he blowing again?
